Crafty Secrets DT Challenge & Nov Linky Party

Hello my friends!

It's time for a new LINKY PARTY at Crafty Secrets!

Join Our Linky Party 1st Monday Each Month 

with $50.00 Random Winner !

 Crafty Secrets have been busy little beavers.  You'll want to be sure and pop over to the Heartwarming Vintage blog to see all the new things they have available and also hear about many other new things that are still in the works.  Why not subscribe to our newsletter so you don't miss any of the excitement! 

Today's Linky Party theme is:

CHRISTMAS

 and I've been playing with a few of the new Digital Christmas papers & images to create this multi-fold card which will be a special Christmas card for my Mom this year!  She loves vintage as much as I do and since she "doesn't do the internet" and won't see this post, it will be a surprise!

This is the front of the card in 'closed' position.  I've started out with one of the beautiful digital papers which will be available on the new Christmas CD and this particular sheet is called 'Santa Baby'.   I have scaled down its size in order to use it as my A6 card front.  Here is a view from the front as you open the card . . .

Each page of this multi-fold card utilizes 'papers' from this new Christmas CD either in the form of background or the entire page itself!  I also used images from our Christmas Images & Journal Notes Booklet, Christmas Memories Stickers, and Winter Wonderland Vintage Cuts.   The only items used that were not Crafty Secrets were Stickles, ribbon, lace, and a few die cut snowflakes / flourishes.

(turn it over and this is what you will see . . .)

 I have no doubt this card will be sitting on my mother's mantle LONG AFTER Christmas is over!  I think she's going to just LOVE all the beautiful detail in these papers and images.

"Wowzers Darlene!  Could you please come tie all my bows? (lol!)
Your card is perfection!  The colors are gorgeous and I love how your sentiment
touches on the flowers.  Your scalloped edge tucked below that amazing bow is
a wonderful extra element too!  Congrats on being my Top Pix!"

Okay ... NOW I'm done talking!  

Sorry it was such a long post and thanks for hanging in there with me!!
